"Care should be taken to prepare the eggs properly. As with all home pickling recipes, proper procedures should be followed to avoid food poisoning."
As with all things, if you do the recipes "properly" you are won't usually have a problem. However, one cannot assume that everyone in a home environment is going to do everything properly, etc.
With that said, I personally always refrigerate the pickled eggs with the knowledge in the back of my head that I probably could leave them out for awhile if I wanted.

Well, if refrigerating pickled eggs was necessary, there would be a lot of sick people leaving bars on a Saturday night. I cannot tell you how many taverns I have seen with a big jar of pickled eggs behind the bar. Heck, we used to have bets that nobody could eat 5 in a minute in my younger wilder days.
Jafo - I had to chuckle with this one! After enough brews/drinks - the one that is "pickled" is not the egg! After enough drinks no one would know if they had food poisoning anyway!
Thanks for the smiles!!!

I did mean after you added the pickling solution onto the eggs in jar is it necessary to refrigerate or is it ok to just leave the jar eggs and solution out on the counter sealed for a couple months until eggs are eaten?
I like making mine in large batches in gallon jars about 3 dozen eggs per and wouldnt want to waste the refrerator space on them if possibly they keep in jars in solution at room temperature.
Also about reusing store bought brine/jars when eggs are eaten can i simply drop another batch into solution seal and have a simple and safe new batch of pickled eggs?Would i have to refrigerate the new eggs after dropping into solution?
Thxs for all your input it is very helpful and appreciated!

You do have to refrigerate WHILE the eggs are brining. It is only after they are fully pickled they become resistant to spoilage.

eckstg, If you don't mind my asking, what does your brine consist of
for your pickled eggs. I love to make pickled eggs but haven't heard of the brining process.
